I have had my female geese just over a week and today i noticed 1 of them her belly was nearly touching the floor,it wasnt like that when we got her is that normal,she is eating and drinking normally and seems ok in herself,she is over a year and i was told she had been laying although we have had none.

Thanks

Sounds like she is overweight, if they are free range they should not need feeding at all.Only a bit to get them in a hut at night . She will lay when she is settled but I do think you will be lucky this year for many  eggs as the season is nearly over. If you have her on good grazing cut her food down ... Next year she will lay well as she does sound like a good layer with a mummy tummy.
